The Universe : A Product of An Higher Intelligence

Dr. Bernard Haisch is an astrophysicist and author of over 130 scientific publications. He served as a scientific editor of the Astrophysical Journal for ten years, and was Principal Investigator on several NASA research projects. His professional positions include Staff Scientist at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory and Deputy Director of the Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Astrophysics at the University of California, Berkeley. In addition, he was also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Scientific Exploration.

Dr. Bernard Haisch discussed his theory that the universe is a product of an intelligence, and how this is demonstrated with recent scientific findings. “It’s becoming more and more evident in quantum physics that consciousness creates reality,” he noted, adding that while you may not be able to hold simultaneous beliefs in science and religion, science and spirituality are compatible. “There is a logical and conceptual basis for believing in a spiritual reality that does not in any way contradict with science,” he added.

Darwinian evolution is essential to a purposeful universe “because if the universe was…manufactured by an intelligent-design sort of God, then what would be the point of it? It would be God creating a kind of puppet show down here…I think evolution is the way that novelty and new kinds of experiences and the unknown are designed to arise out of creation to make this a very interesting place,” Haisch put forth.

While there may be multiverses or alternate universes, Haisch believes that it is just one intelligence that is expressing itself in different ways. Further, he suggested that the purpose of the universe is for the consciousness of God to enter into existing life forms and experience physical reality
